The popular Canon Lens Control Ring, synonymous with the modern Canon PowerShot S camera series, also provides a tactile way to control picture settings such as focus and exposure. Canon PowerShot S100 camera users can assign the Lens Control Ring to a number of different image parameters, including shutter speed, ISO sensitivity and aperture, allowing them to fine tune their exposure in 1/3-stop increments. The ‘Ring Function’ button and rear Multi-Control Dial can also be custom-assigned to control other pre-selected functions, providing complete flexibility to serve different user styles.

Canon PowerShot S100 photography
Using the power of the DIGIC 5, the Canon PowerShot S100 digital camera is ideal for capturing fast-moving action. High-speed Burst HQ is perfect for everything from sports to parties, capturing a rapid sequence of eight full resolution photos at up to 9.6 shots/sec. For recording the drama of high-speed action, Super Slow Motion Movie mode also records videos at 240 fps (QVGA quality) or 120 fps (VGA quality).

Canon PowerShot S100 photo modes
For easy digital photography in a range of situations, Canon’s Smart Auto mode ensures great results by selecting the optimum settings for a scene from 32 variables. New Multi-area White Balance also makes pictures look more natural by detecting scenes with two different light sources and applying area-specific white balance correction. For instance, when taking a portrait with flash under tungsten lighting, the Canon PowerShot S100 digital camera will simultaneously apply tungsten white balance to the background look natural.
